What is a Quotation Generator?

A free quotation generator, also called a quote generator or quote maker, is a tool that turns your business, client, and line-item details into a professional, ready-to-send quote, with tax, discounts, and totals calculated automatically, and no software to install.

How it works: you type your business details, the client, and each line item. The quotation generator lays everything out in a standard quotation format and recalculates the subtotal, discount, tax and total every time you change a number. When the preview looks right, you download a PDF, copy a share link, send it on WhatsApp, or save it to a free Taskip account.

Why use one instead of a Word or Excel file: there are no formulas to break and no layout to fix, the math is always right, and every quote follows the same numbered, dated structure. That makes quotes faster to send, easier to track, and simple to turn into an invoice once the client says yes.

Who uses it: freelancers, agencies, consultants, contractors, wholesalers and small businesses that need a professional price quote in minutes without paying for quoting software.

What each part of the quotation does

  1. Title and quotation number

    Label the document "Quotation" and give it a unique number so you and the client can reference it in emails, revisions and the final invoice.

  2. Issue date and validity period

    The validity date is how long your price is honored. 15 to 30 days is typical; go shorter when material costs move fast.

  3. Your business details

    Business name, address, email and tax registration (VAT, GST or TRN) where it applies. Add your logo so the quote is instantly recognizable.

  4. Client details

    The client company, address and the person the quote is addressed to, so it reaches the decision maker.

  5. Itemized line items

    Each deliverable on its own line with quantity, rate and amount. Optional add-ons are shown but not counted in the total.

  6. Subtotal, discount, tax and total

    Show the math openly: subtotal, any discount, tax at the correct rate, and the final amount the client will pay.

  7. Payment terms and notes

    Deposit, payment schedule, delivery timeline and what happens if the scope changes.

  8. Acceptance and signature

    A clear way to say yes: a signature line, an accept link, or instructions to reply. Without it, quotes sit unanswered.

Types of Quotations You Can Create

The quotation format stays the same. What changes is who you are quoting, how you price, and what the buyer needs to see before they say yes. Pick the type that matches your deal.

Sales Quotation

A priced offer for physical products, sent when a buyer asks what an order will cost.

Who it is for
Retailers, wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers
Why use it
Buyers compare suppliers line by line, so clear unit prices, quantity breaks and delivery terms win the order.

What to include

  • Item name or SKU with unit price
  • Quantity or volume discounts
  • Shipping, delivery time and Incoterms for exports
  • Stock availability and a validity date

Price Quotation

A formal fixed price for a defined scope, usually in reply to a request for quotation (RFQ).

Who it is for
Suppliers answering procurement teams, tenders and RFQs
Why use it
Many companies cannot raise a purchase order until they have a written, dated price to approve.

What to include

  • The RFQ or tender reference
  • A fixed price per item or for the whole lot
  • Payment terms such as Net 30
  • A short validity period if your costs move

Service Quotation

A quote for work rather than goods, broken into phases, deliverables or hours.

Who it is for
Agencies, consultants, freelancers, IT and marketing service providers
Why use it
Services are intangible. Itemizing phases and deliverables shows the client exactly what they are paying for and keeps scope creep in check.

What to include

  • Phases or deliverables
  • An hourly rate or fixed fee per line
  • Revision rounds included
  • Deposit and milestone schedule

Job or Work Quote

A quote for a specific job at a specific site, common in trades and home services.

Who it is for
Builders, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, cleaners and repair services
Why use it
Homeowners and property managers usually compare several quotes. A separate labor and materials breakdown builds trust and prevents disputes later.

What to include

  • Site address and start date
  • Labor, materials, equipment and permits
  • Allowances for unknowns
  • How changes to the job are priced

Business (B2B) Quotation

A quote from one company to another, often routed through a purchasing or finance team.

Who it is for
Companies selling to other businesses
Why use it
The buyer’s accounts team needs references, legal names and tax details before it can approve and pay.

What to include

  • The buyer’s PO or reference number
  • Both companies’ registered names and tax IDs
  • Payment terms (Net 15, 30 or 60)
  • A named contact for approval

Retainer or Subscription Quotation

A quote for an ongoing monthly service rather than a one-off project.

Who it is for
Agencies on retainer, maintenance and support providers, managed service providers
Why use it
It fixes the monthly price and what is included each month, so renewals and extra work are agreed before they come up.

What to include

  • Monthly fee and billing date
  • Hours or deliverables included per month
  • Rate for work beyond the allowance
  • Minimum term and notice period

GST or VAT Quotation

Any quote from a tax-registered business that shows tax the way the final invoice will.

Who it is for
VAT or GST registered businesses in the UK, EU, India, Australia, the Gulf and beyond
Why use it
Registered buyers need to see the tax they will pay and reclaim. Showing it upfront avoids surprises at invoice time. See the tax rules by region below.

What to include

  • Your VAT or GST number
  • Tax rate and tax amount
  • Totals before and after tax
  • Place of supply (India GST)

How to Send a Quotation to a Client

Once your quote is ready, use the buttons under the quotation generator. Need the words? Copy a quotation email template or a formal quotation letter.

Email a PDF

Download the PDF and attach it to an email. Put the quotation number and total in the subject line so it is easy to find later.

Share a link

Copy a link that opens the exact quotation you built, ready for the client to view, print or save as PDF.

Send on WhatsApp

Send a one-line summary with the total, the validity date and the link straight to your client on WhatsApp.

Track and follow up

Save the quote to a free Taskip account to track its status, remind the client before it expires, and convert it to an invoice once accepted.

GST, VAT and Sales Tax on Quotations

Tax rules differ by country. A quotation is not a tax invoice, but it should show tax the way your final invoice will, so the buyer can budget for the full cost. Here is how to set it up in this quotation generator, and what to show in each region.

  • Enter the tax rate that applies. Tax is calculated on the subtotal after any discount.
  • Add your VAT, GST, TRN or sales tax registration number to your business address field so it prints on the quote.
  • Quote in your client’s currency. 39 currencies are built in.
  • Once the client accepts, issue a proper tax invoice with the free invoice generator.

Tax rules by region

European Union (VAT)

  • Show your VAT number, and the customer’s VAT number for cross-border B2B sales.
  • Standard VAT rates range from 17% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary). Use the rate of the country where the supply is taxed.
  • For B2B services to a business in another EU country, VAT is usually reverse charged: quote the net price and add "Reverse charge: VAT to be accounted for by the recipient".
  • When quoting consumers, show the final price including VAT, as EU consumer price rules require.

United Kingdom (VAT)

  • Standard rate 20%, reduced rate 5%, zero rate 0%.
  • Show your VAT registration number if you are registered.
  • If you are not VAT registered (taxable turnover under the £90,000 threshold), do not add VAT to your quote.

United States (sales tax)

  • There is no federal VAT. Sales tax is set by states and local jurisdictions, and Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax.
  • Most goods are taxable, while many services are not. The rules vary state by state.
  • Because the rate depends on where the buyer takes delivery and where you have nexus, many businesses quote the pre-tax price and add "plus applicable sales tax".
  • Buyers who resell the goods may give you a resale or exemption certificate. Note it on the quote and do not charge tax.

India (GST)

  • Show your GSTIN, and the buyer’s GSTIN if they are registered.
  • Add the HSN code (goods) or SAC code (services) in each line item description.
  • Intra-state supply: CGST + SGST. Inter-state supply: IGST. Most items now fall in the 5% or 18% slabs after the September 2025 rate reform.
  • Mention the place of supply. Or download the ready-made GST quotation format in Excel or Word.

Canada, Australia and New Zealand

  • Canada: 5% GST federally, or HST of 13% to 15% in participating provinces. Some provinces add a separate PST.
  • Australia: 10% GST. Show your ABN on the quote.
  • New Zealand: 15% GST. Show your GST number if registered.

Gulf and Asia

  • UAE: 5% VAT. Show your TRN (tax registration number).
  • Saudi Arabia: 15% VAT.
  • Singapore: 9% GST for GST-registered businesses.

Tax rates and thresholds change. This is general information, not tax advice; confirm current rules with your accountant or local tax authority.

What Every Professional Quotation Should Include

A quote that wins work covers more than a price; it removes every reason for a client to hesitate.

  • A unique quotation number, so both sides can reference it later
  • Issue date and a clear validity period (how long the price is honored)
  • Your full business details: name, address, contact info, and tax registration if applicable
  • Complete client details: name, company, and billing address
  • Itemized descriptions with quantity, unit price, and line totals, not a single lump sum
  • A transparent breakdown of tax, discounts, and the final total
  • Payment terms and any deposit requirements
  • Delivery timeline or project start/end expectations
  • Terms and conditions covering scope changes and cancellation
  • A clear next step: how the client accepts the quote

Quotation vs. Estimate vs. Proforma Invoice vs. Invoice

These four documents get confused constantly. Here is what actually separates them, and where each one sits in your sales process.

DocumentWhen it’s sentBinding?Purpose
EstimateVery early, before full scope is knownNoRough ballpark to gauge interest
QuotationAfter scope is defined, before work startsUsually, until it expiresFixed-price offer the client can accept
Proforma InvoiceAfter a quote is accepted, before deliveryNo, informationalPreview of the invoice for customs/advance payment
InvoiceAfter work or delivery is completeYes, a payment demandFormal request for payment owed. Make one with the free invoice generator

In practice they follow each other: estimate, then quotation, then sometimes a proforma, then the invoice. Taskip Quotations turns an accepted quote into an invoice in one click with every line item carried over, and Taskip Invoicing takes it from there with online payments and payment reminders. Only need a one-off invoice? The free invoice generator works just like this tool.

Best Practices for Quotes That Get Accepted

  • Send it fast: quotes delivered within hours convert far better than ones that arrive days later
  • Personalize the intro line with the client’s name and project instead of a generic template
  • Break pricing into clear line items so clients see exactly what they’re paying for
  • State your terms and conditions plainly, including what happens if scope changes
  • Set an expiration date: open-ended quotes get deprioritized and forgotten
  • Follow up once, a few days before it expires, instead of waiting silently
  • Make acceptance effortless: a one-click "Accept" beats "reply to confirm"

Quoting by Industry

The quotation format is the same everywhere, but what you itemize, how you price and how long the quote stays valid change a lot from one industry to the next. Here is how to adapt your quote.

Agencies & Freelancers

Clients buy outcomes, so break the project into phases instead of one project fee.

Typical line items

  • Discovery and strategy
  • Design and build, per deliverable
  • Revision rounds included
  • Monthly retainer or maintenance (optional)

Pricing model: Fixed fee per phase, or hourly with a cap

Tip: Mark add-ons like extra pages or ad management as optional, so the client can upgrade without asking for a new quote.

Construction & Trades

Homeowners compare several quotes, so transparency on labor and materials wins the job.

Typical line items

  • Labor by trade or by hours
  • Materials with quantities
  • Equipment hire
  • Permits, disposal and cleanup

Pricing model: Itemized cost plus markup

Tip: Keep validity short (7 to 14 days) because material prices move, and state how unforeseen site conditions will be priced. See our construction quotation templates.

Consulting & Professional Services

Quote the engagement, not just the hours, and say what triggers extra billing.

Typical line items

  • Assessment or audit
  • Workshops or sessions
  • Report or final deliverable
  • Ongoing advisory retainer

Pricing model: Per phase, day rate or monthly retainer

Tip: List expenses such as travel as separate lines, or state that they are billed at cost.

IT & Software Development

Scope changes are normal, so the quote must define what is in and what is out.

Typical line items

  • Requirements and design
  • Development by module or sprint
  • Testing and deployment
  • Hosting, licences and support plan

Pricing model: Fixed price per milestone, or time and materials

Tip: Separate one-off build costs from recurring costs like hosting and support, so the client sees the true yearly cost.

E-commerce & Wholesale

Buyers care about unit price, quantity breaks and delivery.

Typical line items

  • Products by SKU and unit price
  • Volume discount
  • Shipping and packaging
  • Duties or import taxes for cross-border orders

Pricing model: Per unit with tiered discounts

Tip: Quote in the buyer’s currency. This tool supports 39 of them natively.

Events, Photography & Creative Services

Packages sell better than a list of hours.

Typical line items

  • Package: coverage hours and deliverables
  • Travel and venue fees
  • Add-ons: extra hours, prints, second shooter
  • Booking deposit to secure the date

Pricing model: Package price with optional add-ons

Tip: Ask for a booking deposit and put the cancellation policy in the notes.

Cleaning, Maintenance & Facility Services

Recurring work needs a clear per-visit or monthly price.

Typical line items

  • Service per visit or per area
  • Frequency: weekly, fortnightly or monthly
  • Supplies and equipment
  • One-off deep clean or extra tasks

Pricing model: Per visit or monthly contract

Tip: State the frequency and minimum term so the monthly total cannot be misread.

Manufacturing & Custom Orders

Cost depends on volume and specifications, so tie the price to both.

Typical line items

  • Unit price at each quantity tier
  • Tooling or setup fee
  • Samples or prototypes
  • Lead time and shipping

Pricing model: Tiered unit pricing plus a one-off setup fee

Tip: List the specs the price is based on (material, size, finish), so any change is clearly re-quoted.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

✕ What Not to Do

Math errors in totals, tax, or discounts

Client loses trust before reading the scope

✓ What to Do Instead

Let the tool calculate tax and discounts automatically instead of computing them by hand in a spreadsheet.

✕ What Not to Do

No expiration date on the quote

Old pricing gets renegotiated weeks later

✓ What to Do Instead

Always set a validity period; expired pricing protects you from cost changes.

✕ What Not to Do

Lumping everything into one price

Client can’t see what they’re actually paying for

✓ What to Do Instead

Break the quote into itemized line items with quantity and unit price, not a single total.

✕ What Not to Do

Hiding optional add-ons inside the base total

Client feels upsold after accepting

✓ What to Do Instead

Mark add-ons as optional line items so they’re visible but not forced into the total.

✕ What Not to Do

Sending a quote instead of an invoice, or vice versa

Confusion about whether payment is due

✓ What to Do Instead

A quote is an offer before work starts; an invoice is a payment request after. Use the right document for the stage you’re at.

✕ What Not to Do

No clear way for the client to accept

Quote sits unanswered

✓ What to Do Instead

End with a specific next step, reply to confirm, sign, or a link, so the client knows exactly how to say yes.

✕ What Not to Do

Missing or outdated client details

Looks copy-pasted from another job

✓ What to Do Instead

Double-check the client name, address, and contact info before sending; stale details are the fastest way to look careless.

✕ What Not to Do

Vague scope language

Leaves room for disputes about what was actually promised

✓ What to Do Instead

Name the specific deliverables in each line item instead of a single vague description covering the whole job.

FAQs: Quotation Generator

Is this quotation generator really free?

Yes, creating and downloading quotations with this tool is 100% free, with no signup, watermark, or hidden limits on how many you create.

What’s the difference between a quotation and an invoice?

A quotation is an offer you send before work begins, giving a client a price estimate to approve. An invoice is a request for payment sent after the work or delivery is complete. This tool can be paired with Taskip’s one-click quote-to-invoice conversion once you save your quotes to an account.

Does it handle tax and multiple currencies?

Yes, set a tax rate (GST, VAT, sales tax, or any percentage) and pick from 39 world currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, INR, AED, SGD and ZAR. Discounts are applied to the subtotal first, then tax is calculated on the discounted amount.

Can I add optional line items?

Yes, mark any item as optional so clients can see add-on pricing without it being forced into the total, useful for offering upgrade packages alongside a base quote.

Is my data sent to your servers?

No, everything you type stays in your browser while you’re building the quote. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you click "Save to my account," which creates a free Taskip workspace and stores the quote there.

Can I save quotations and reuse client details?

Yes, save a quote to a free Taskip account and it’s stored in your workspace, where you can track its status, duplicate it for repeat clients, and convert it to an invoice in one click.

What is a quotation format?

A quotation format is the standard layout of a quote: a title and unique quotation number, issue and validity dates, your business details, the client details, itemized line items with quantity and rate, the subtotal, discount, tax and total, payment terms, and an acceptance or signature line. The sample quotation on this page shows each part numbered and explained.

What are the different types of quotations?

The most common are sales quotations (products), price quotations (a fixed price for a defined scope), service quotations (agencies, consultants, freelancers), job or work quotes (trades and contractors), business or B2B quotations, and GST or VAT quotations. They all use the same format; only the pricing detail changes.

Is a quotation legally binding?

A quotation on its own is an offer, not a contract. Once the client accepts it in writing, most jurisdictions treat the accepted quote as a binding agreement, so keep the scope, price and terms as precise as you would in a contract, and always set a validity date. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I write a quotation for a job?

Add your business and client details, give the quote a number and a validity date, list each part of the job as its own line item (labor, materials, extras), set your tax rate and any discount, then add payment terms such as a deposit and a clear way to accept. With this quotation generator that takes a couple of minutes.

How do I send a quotation to a client?

Download it as a PDF and attach it to an email, copy a shareable link to the quote, or send a summary with the total and link over WhatsApp. To track whether the client has viewed or accepted it, save the quote to a free Taskip account.

Is this a quotation maker online free without login?

Yes. You can create, preview, print and download quotations without creating an account or logging in. An account is only needed if you want to save quotes, track their status, or convert them to invoices.

Can I download the quotation in Word or Excel?

This generator exports a PDF, or a CSV of the line items that opens in Excel or Google Sheets. If you would rather work offline, download our free quotation template in Word, Excel or PDF from the Taskip templates library (standard, service, construction and GST versions).

Can I use it for EU VAT or US sales tax quotes?

Yes. Enter the VAT rate that applies (EU standard rates range from 17% to 27%) or your state and local sales tax rate, and add your VAT number in the business details. For EU cross-border B2B services, quote the net price and add a reverse charge note. Many US businesses quote the pre-tax price with "plus applicable sales tax". This is general information, not tax advice.

Is a "quote" the same thing as a "quotation"?

Yes, "quote" and "quotation" mean the same document, a fixed-price offer sent before work begins. "Quote" is the more common everyday term, "quotation" the more formal one used in accounting and legal contexts. This tool generates the same document either way, so use whichever term your client expects.
